Effects of Lidocaine Infusion on Quality of Recovery and Agitation After Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Summary

The essential anesthesia requirements for FESS include airway management, considerations for facilitating surgical access, provision of a clear and still surgical field for precision surgery, assuring quick and non-stimulating emergence from anesthesia, and fast-tracking patients for discharge. Postoperative agitation, although short-lived, is potentially harmful to both patients and recovery room staff, it has a potential for self-injury by removing intravenous catheters, tubing, oxygen masks and nasal packs. Furthermore, very agitated patients can pose an immediate danger to operating theatre staff.
